Hahaha - you'll be in for a real surprise!

I was a big portion guy and now it's nothing like that....you'll be amazed at how different things taste....even simple things like lettuce and cucumber taste great.

FloridaGirl, Mark is so right!
I have never been a person to get uncomfortably full after a big meal and always have room for dessert but these last few days I have been getting so bloated after my meals!
In the office today we had one of the bosses visiting and I bought cookies for everyone - I wasn't even tempted to have one.
The salad that I took in for my lunch was another story though - I was practically drooling over it!
Never thought this would happen - just hoping it lasts!

Mark - I have been seasoning with salt and pepper, what else can I use?

Danielle, I was always a lover of Indian food so I use quite a lot of Indian spices...Tandoori Mix, Garam Massala...you can try Chinese 5 spice mix and others.

According to my Chemist, all spices like that can be used as required and it makes a change from the ordinary salt and pepper. I especially like to do my chicken in the indian spices then cook it on a bed of garlic. Another alternative is to mix the spices into low-fat natural yoghurt then use it as a marinade.

Just experiment...it's fun...some you win, some you don't, but that's part of the fun!

ooh, I am cooking my dinner at my mum's later so may raid her spice rack for some Indian spices.
In my house we have salt, pepper and oregano, that's about it!!
Thanks for the tip - will let you know how it goes

I found I was leaving things too in the early stages...it's really surprising how big a 6oz piece of samlon is! When you're reading the sample menus before starting refeed, it doesn't sound a lot, but the plates end up full! lol

Sounds like you're doing great Danielle, let's hope the results at your next weigh-in reflect that!
